Chapter 237: Chapter 237 Tonight is a treat_1

"The Nong family? Is it the Nong family from Nanshu?"

There were not many people with the surname Nong. Upon hearing Nong Xue Le’s name, you couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, does Senior Li also know about our Nong family?" Nong Xue Le had a lively personality and a sweet smile, similar to Lin Panxia’s type. She was as adorable as a porcelain doll.

"Senior?"

Nong Xue Le giggled, gave you an up and down look, and said with a smile, "Senior Li might not know yet, but your fame has already spread within the Chu Sect. Your outstanding performance during the Soul Refining Sect incident left a deep impression on everyone. I heard that Senior Li even got beaten up by someone from the Inner Sect; it was so satisfying. Those guys always act so arrogant; they deserve a good lesson!"

"You’re with the Chu Sect?" You looked at Nong Xue Le in surprise, not expecting that someone from the Chu Sect would also be working as a bodyguard.

"Right, Senior Li might not be aware, but Sister Dong and I are both from the Chu Sect," she said.

The woman in the suit explained to Wu Qiyi, "After receiving Xi Yu’s call, I made a special request to the Chu Sect for them to arrange two suitable candidates, and they recommended these two. Miss Dong has pursued many professions, her expertise is solid, especially her medical skills; she’s now a national first-class physician. Miss Nong is an expert in using poisons and antidotes; both of them will definitely be useful in this journey."

Wu Qiyi did not quite understand all that, so she turned to you, seeking your opinion.

You thought for a moment and said to the two, "Do you two need money?"

They did not expect you to ask such a question. Nong Xue Le said cheerfully, "Of course, I’m counting on earning my tuition for next semester from this job."

Dong Fangxiao winked at you and said with a flirtatious smile, "If Master Li is in need of someone to warm his bed, I wouldn’t mind earning a little extra on the side, just so you know, I’m quite skilled at it."

You did not respond to Dong Fangxiao, but addressed them both, "If you’re short on money, you might want to raise your hiring price now. Our destination is very dangerous and there’s always a chance you could lose your life there; also, once there, you might come across treasures that are worth a fortune. I hope you won’t touch those things."

Laughing, Nong Xue Le said, "Senior Li, you’re not planning to hand those things over to the state, are you?"

"Don’t give me that disgusting line," you said, holding your forehead. "We go in with what we have, and we come out with what we have, trying not to touch anything inside unless it’s a matter of life and death."

"So what are you going in there for? An adventure?" Dong Fangxiao fluttered her long eyelashes and looked at you with a languishing smile.

You chuckled, "No, we’re going in to retrieve some things, some things that originally belong to Little Yun."

"Does that mean we’ve passed the interview?"

"Yes."

You nodded your head. Truth be told, both of their strengths were not weak. Leaving Nong Xue Le aside, Dong Fangxiao’s abilities were particularly strong.

Although you hadn’t activated your Sen Luo Eye to observe her, you had a feeling that Dong Fangxiao was quite skilled, and she seemed to be hiding her true strength.

However, you still had reservations about them and were not completely forthcoming about the purpose of your trip; even though they were from the Chu Sect, as far as you were concerned, these two could not be fully trusted yet.

Latter, you sat down to discuss some details. During the entire process, two things caught your attention. First, throughout the conversation, Dong Fangxiao looked at Zhao’er from the corner of her eye four times, and each time she did, a subtle change occurred in her expression. Although you were not sure what emotion she was experiencing internally, this made you wary of her.

The second thing concerned Little Hei, who had taken an immediate disliking to Dong Fangxiao and remained highly alert, staring at her with sharp eyes as if she posed a great danger to him.

At a time when you needed more hands, having two more people also meant additional security.

Xi Yu took care of preparing all the equipment, and after everything was settled, you planned to take a flight to Chang’an early the next morning.

"It’s getting late; Master Li, why don’t you stay and have dinner with Miss tonight?"

Just as you were about to answer Xi Yu, your phone in your pocket began to ring: "The Red lady ties a big peach, a mouse carries a big stinky cat..."

"Excuse me, I need to take a call."

Just by hearing that ringtone, you knew it was your mother calling. You immediately took your phone out of your pocket: "Hello, Mom."

"Are you hitting the road tomorrow?"

At those words, you couldn’t help but laugh: "Come on, mother, that’s a bit of an ominous way to put it."

"Cut the chatter. Since you’ll be leaving tomorrow, come home with Zhao’er tonight. I have some things to tell you, and Zhao’er can have a meal cooked by your old lady."

"Wow, are you personally cooking tonight? In that case, I’ll be right over!"

If you think about it, it has been at least ten years since you last ate a meal cooked by your mother.

It’s not that her cooking isn’t delicious; on the contrary, with your current palate, even those so-called imperial chefs can’t compare to your mother’s skills.

It’s just that she’s quite lazy. In the past, the two of you always ate out during the holidays, or you’d have the restaurant deliver the food directly.

"Is Little Yun with you?"

"Yes."

"Bring her along."

"Okay."

You hung up the phone and said to Wu Qiyi with a smile, "We’re in for a treat tonight. My mom’s cooking for the first time in ten years. Do you want to go?"

"Yes, of course. I’ve eaten Aunt Ying’s cooking a few times when I was little, and I still remember it fondly," Wu Qiyi answered without hesitation.

You nodded and said to Xi Yu, "Xi Yu, then could you please drive us there?"

Xi Yu smiled and said, "Master Li, you have a car yourself. Why do you need me to drive you? Besides, it’s a family dinner, and I don’t want to be a third wheel."

"A car? I can’t carry two people on my Phoenix bicycle," you said with a laugh.

Xi Yu gestured towards the Ye Xiao car parked in the mansion’s yard: "That car was always yours anyway, and it’s registered in your name. The car keys are still in the ignition."

"This... doesn’t seem right; after all, it’s such an expensive car."

Seeing you furrow your brow, Xi Yu, who knew your personality inside out, said with a smile, "It’s not a free gift. I took an order yesterday, and the client needs a Life Extension Pill. You just need to get it to me within a month, and that car was bought with your commission from the upfront payment. I was going to get you a dragon-pickup, but the dragon pickups are all military and don’t look as good as the Ye Xiao. Besides, Little Hei’s size perfectly matches the cargo bed of the Ye Xiao, so I went with the Ye Xiao instead."

You were touched by Xi Yu’s thoughtfulness; you hadn’t expected her to be so considerate in her arrangements.
